Last week the Partnership for Public Service released this year’s list of the Best Places to Work in the federal government. These rankings can serve as a recruiting tool for agencies, said Tim McManus, vice president for education and outreach at the Partnership, in an interview with In Depth with Francis Rose.

McManus said the issues employees value are the same ones that job seekers look for.

“Whether it’s support for diversity, work/life balance or teamwork, Best Places to Work allows job seekers to look at and compare agencies through the lens that matters most to them-the views of employees,” McManus writes in AOL Gov.

Francis Rose is the host of In Depth, which airs weekdays from 4-7 p.m. on 1500 AM in the Washington, DC metro area and online everywhere. Francis has covered all three branches of the federal government as a broadcast journalist since 1998. He joined Federal News Radio in 2006, and launched In Depth in 2008 as a daily show focused on connecting federal executives to the information they need to do their jobs better.
